[**Allsorts Youth Project** ](https://www.allsortsyouth.org.uk/?ref=scenemag.co.uk)has announced applications are now open for cohort 2 (November 2020- March 2021) of **The Allsorts Safer Spaces Award** (TASSA).

TASSA aims to support young people’s services in achieving better inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and unsure (LGBTU+) young people by sharing the skills and knowledge Allsorts has gained as a specialist LGBTU+ service with over 20 years of experience of working with children, young people and their families. TASSA strives to adapt to the needs of your specific organisation, recognising the unique challenges and experiences faced by the LGBTU+ community in diverse settings.

TASSA supports and empowers participating organisations to examine and self-assess six key areas of operation, with a view to amending, improving or implementing inclusive practices that assure safer spaces for LGBTU+ children and young people.

The areas are:

– Staff & volunteers  
– Service users  
– Facilities & environment  
– Policy & procedures  
– Culture & ethos  
– Data & information

TASSA is anchored by the **Equality Act**, the **UN Rights of the Child** and robust best practice guidelines from authorities such as **Ofsted** and the **NHS**, helping participating organisations to adhere to relevant legal requirements. It is fully funded by the **Paul Hamlyn Foundation** and is therefore free to participate in.

Deadline for applications is **October 30**, 2020\. For more information on the programme and to download an application, [CLICK HERE](http://www.allsortsyouth.org.uk/training-advice-schools/the-allsorts-safer-space-award?ref=scenemag.co.uk)
